Unable to create PostGIS extension in pgAdmin

Question

Hello all,

I'm following the instructions provided on the RiverGIS website, but have been getting issues right at the start. When I try to create the PostGIS extensions from the SQL query editor, I get the following error message:

ERROR:  could not open extension control file "C:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/9.6/share/extension/postgis.control": No such file or directory
********** Error **********

ERROR: could not open extension control file "C:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/9.6/share/extension/postgis.control": No such file or directory
SQL state: 58P01

I have tried the install on two different computers, Windows 10, and keep getting this issue. Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Mix

Ok it has been solved by installing the PostGIS bundle with Application StackBuilder.

I am using pgadmin4 on windows 8. I face similar issue. I tried running command:

temba=> create extension postgis;
ERROR:  could not open extension control file "C:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/9.6/share/extension/postgis.control": No such file or directory

What should I do?
